This year is going to be unique for most of us, so finding some indoor activities will be vital! One of my favorite past times is doing origami. I may not be the best at it, but with this incredible Paper Christmas book (via Amazon; affiliate link) I will be a pro! (Disclosure: Some of the links in this post ...

I have a confession, I love cat and dog outfits. My cats have already indulged me in letting me put elaborate collars on them, so I may be pushing it with a whole outfit. On the other hand, my friend’s cat feels safe in his outfits. It’s close to a thunder-jacket and he looks really cute! Another friend of mine ...

I don’t know anyone who will say no to chocolate. I have to be honest, I have a hard time coming up with unique gifts for every family member and for all my friends! But my secret go-to, is gifting them some nice chocolate truffles. And some of the best ones are GODIVA Chocolatier Holiday Santa assorted chocolate truffles gift ...

Let’s be honest, this year has had all kinds of ups and downs. Some of us feel a little hesitant to celebrate anything, but this is the opportunity to really celebrate the small successes. Christmas is about giving, appreciating family/friends, cozy homes, and counting our blessings. Let’s take a look at Etsy shop Keptsake for ways of cherishing this holiday ...

It has been an interesting experience finding new activities to do throughout fall and winter. I’m hoping to be productive rather than just sitting around watching holiday Hallmark Channel movies or Netflix all day! I’ve always wanted to learn how to crotchet.

Admittedly, sometimes the holidays can be really tough for people. Getting together with family can, at times, be really very stressful.

When I was growing up, Playmobil was my favorite thing to play with at my grandparents house. I actually like them more than Legos! They’ve always had some amazing themed sets like zoos, cities, carnavals, and now an Advent Calendar. These are still the same Playmobils that I played with as a kid, just a little more colorful and fun! ...

My aunt had this tradition during the holiday season where the whole family dresses up in that year’s chosen Christmas pajama set. They would go take pictures and hang them on the wall. She would also gift all the little ones in the family with their own pajamas. As I grew up, I realized I expected a new set of ...

Hot Chocolate Bombs are such a simple yet ingenious idea, I can’t believe they haven’t made an appearance until now! Imagine this: cozying up to your loved ones in a warm fuzzy blanket sipping hot chocolate while watching your favorite Christmas movie. To make it even better for everyone, give each family member a cup of hot milk and a ...

One of my first thoughts was to make an adorable Christmas apron with it. It would be really cute to have some matching oven mitts! I am ...
